@criver@es_kan while I think that criver is right and they're just some randos, I'd consider it peak comedy gold if they really were the people from the body snatcher's group.
Damn, MC gets fucking wrecked. I think the best way to deal with this opponent is if he can somehow shoot a more solid matter. If he can somehow shoot out teeth or bone shrapnels, he'll be able to deal damage, but not explosive damage.
He makes the enemy believe his statements and they come true. Mikazuchi believes nothing in what he says so it does not affect him but Jagasaki on the other hand lets himself get affected with every "truth" that Tengu has said.
@neaubee naw, it seems that Miakzuchi's theory was correct. His blades didn't really affect Tengu even before he had the chance to spout some lies. Also, the bacteria explanation is more in line with the fractured powers we've seen so far. It's physical. Your theory is more akin to a stand that has some magic rules.
@flashmozzg Well, fair enough. It just makes me wonder why Tengu keeps emphasizing "truth". I was figuring that Mikazuchi made the bacteria theory up so Jagasaki would find it more believable and it seemed effective since Jagasaki was able to come up with a logical reasoning as to why his arm decayed and his bullets rendered ineffective. That does seem too much magically-inclined for this manga tho.
